John 16:6-8 New Matthew Bible (NMB)
6 But because I have said such things to you, your hearts are full of sorrow. 7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is better for you that I go away. For if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you. But if I depart, I will send him to you. 8 And when He is come, he will rebuke the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment"
I am so thankful for the Holy Spirit. I think if I had to chose a "favorite" identity of the trinity, it would be the Holy Spirit. I think its cool that some versions of the bible refer to Him as "the comforter" because He is God within us: He's the one that calms me when my mind is racing a 3 o'clock in the morning with a million different thoughts are racing through my mind, or if I've had issues with Barrett, Dalton or Bobbye Sue. ( with 2 teenager in the house I better have a comforter to keep from killing them.)
I person believe that the Holy spirit is intertwined with our conscious. I think that If we don't believe God is good, we can't truly know what is wrong. While unbelievers may know right fro wrong, they may only know something is wrong because society tells us. If I don't believe in God and` I kill someone, I only know that it's wrong because the law dictates it. However if I'm a believer and murder someone, I'm going to have compassion for the people who I have harm and be remorseful for what I have done. (I know this is a very broad example.)
